Strategy positions

Accelerationendorsestentative

Build faster; delay costs more than capability

Argues structured state-space models can scale to language with linear time and memory, breaking the quadratic attention bottleneck and reshaping where capability research is going.

“We propose Mamba, a selective state space model that achieves Transformer-level performance with linear scaling in sequence length.”
